There Goes My Everything

Jan Howard · Bad Seed [Decca] [1966]

(Dallas Frazier)



There goes my everything.



I hear footsteps slowly walking

As they gently walk across a lonely floor

And a voice is softly saying

Darling, this will be goodbye forever more.



There goes my reason for living

There goes the one of my dreams

There goes my only possesion

There goes my everything.



---Instrumental ---



As my mem'ry turns back the pages

I can see the happy years we had before

Now the love that kept this heart beating

Has been shattered by the closing of a door.



There goes my reason for living

There goes the one of my dreams

There goes my only possesion

There goes my everything...
